Tumshie RFC 0 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Was surprised at this announcement to be honest. But I will definitely be going to this. Can't wait to welcome back the likes of Laudrup and Gascoigne back to Ibrox. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilledbear 16 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 If Rangers need money from this game, then we are in a worst state than we are being told. I thought the money was going to charity. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 0 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 CB, no offence but which part of 'administration' passed you by? We're broke beyond words and every penny counts. It's a shame charity is sufferifing, but our survival is more important right now. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian1964 10,427 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 RANGERS have today confirmed the glamour legends friendly with AC Milan Glorie at Ibrox on Friday 30 March 2012 will go ahead with revenue from the match being split between the club, the Rangers Charity Foundation and the AC Milan Foundation. The Rangers Charity Foundation has offered to forego the majority of its share of the proceeds following the crucial support the charity has received from the club over the last 10 years and funds raised will help secure the future of the Rangers, which is vital at this time. Tickets go on sale to season ticket holders from tomorrow with a public sale to follow next Monday. Tickets are priced £12 for adults, £8 for concessions and £6 for children and supporters will be able to see a host of Rangers and AC Milan legends in action on the hallowed turf. Hospitality packages are also available from £99 plus VAT by contacting the Sales Team on 0871 702 1972 or emailing hospitality@rangers.co.uk. The Rangers Legends side will be managed by Walter Smith and captained by Richard Gough while Italian defensive legend Franco Baresi captains AC Milan Glorie in what is sure to be a night to remember at Ibrox. Ally McCoist, Brian Laudrup, Paul Gascoigne, Andy Goram, Lorenzo Amoruso, Jorg Albertz, Michael Mols, Arthur Numan will all pull their boots on once again. And Baresi's squad boasts world-class talent like Paolo Maldini, Jean-Pierre Papin, Christian Panucci, Gianluigi Lentini and Zvonimir Boban. Rangers boss Ally McCoist said: "Over the last few weeks our fans around the world have shown how much this great club means to them and the numbers who turned out at Ibrox for the recent Kilmarnock game and at Inverness yesterday is testament to their depth of feeling for Rangers. "It is a tremendous gesture by the Rangers Charity Foundation to forego the majority of the proceeds of the legends match to benefit the club and it is going to be an evening of nostalgia for all the fans, players and supporters." Connal Cochrane, Manager of the Rangers Charity Foundation, said: "The club and the Rangers fans have been tremendous to the Foundation over the last 10 years and now it is our turn to stand alongside them and Step Up For Rangers. "The Rangers Charity Foundation suggested the club should now benefit from the match and we were delighted that the AC Milan Foundation agreed. "The Foundation has received unparalleled support from Rangers over the last 10 years and many thousands of lives have been improved in Scotland and beyond because of the club's support for our work." Legendary Manager Walter Smith said: "The most important thing about the game is it will bring in money for the club, the Rangers Charity Foundation and the AC Milan Foundation and when I was asked to manage our side I had no hesitation in accepting. "It should be a fantastic occasion and for every Rangers fan it is one to get excited about. When you look at the Milan squad we are talking about some of the greatest footballers of all time. "Over the period they have had so many great players and it will be fantastic to welcome them all to Ibrox." AC Milan Glorie captain Franco Baresi said: "I wish to offer my support to Rangers Football Club and the Rangers Charity Foundation in my capacity as Captain of AC Milan Glorie. "We are all looking forward to attending the official dinner on Thursday 29 March and can't wait to play in front of what I hope will be a capacity crowd inside Ibrox Stadium on Friday 30 March to help raise funds but also to play in a friendly, competitive game at the highest level." Paul Clark, joint administrator at Duff & Phelps, said: "The fans have been absolutely tremendous and we are encouraged by their reaction to the club's current situation. "It goes without saying, it is absolutely vital to the administration process that fans continue to support the club directly by coming to Ibrox. Right now, it is quite simple - income generated now will help secure the future of Rangers." Tickets for the Legends Dinner at the Radisson Blu on Thursday 29 March 2012 are also on sale for £100 each, or £1,000 for a table of ten, and can be booked by contacting the Rangers Charity Foundation on 0141 580 8775 or by e-mailing rangerscharity@rangers.co.uk. The dinner, hosted by Jim White, will provide an opportunity to meet some of the stars taking part in the game and hear interviews and anecdotes, as well as enjoying a sumptuous 3 course meal and wine. The Club, the Rangers Charity Foundation and the AC Milan Foundation will also benefit from this event. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
